Hi everyone! This is a sad day for me and a happy one. First my monitor died. My son was kind and gave me a new flat screen. Just love it. Since my computer was so old he also purchased a new one for me. And then my computer died before I transferred my data!! All my pictures and images are gone. Now it is time to figure out all the new things on my computer. I am so grateful for a kind and generous son. Thank you so much for my new monitor and computer!
This is all for today. Much love to you all, Louise

About Me

The Legacy is a small, but very full thrift store. Everything has been donated and the proceeds go to the Sebastopol Senior Center. The most wonderful thing is what they specialize in; sewing, quilting, fabric, crafty stuff, yarn, books, scrapbooking, stamping, embroidery, ribbon and trim etc. It’s like a Jo-Ann’s or Michaels’ thrift store. They also have vintage lace and linens. This little shop has been my soft place to fall. It’s magical. Now onto the buttons… My last name, Bouton, is French for button. Ironically I am now in charge of the button donations at the Legacy and I LOVE it. Wanting to make a pretty button card to sew the loose buttons on led me to the discovery of clip art. Luckily I found "JustSomethingIMade" and "the Graphics Fairy". Kindred spirits! Then I realized I had 1000’s of similar images, dating to the 1700’s. Inspired, I created a blog to share all this ephemera with you creative ones. All because of buttons! And that is how Bumble Button came to exist.
